Forward Industries To Launch Tokenized Shares On Solana Via Superstate’s Opening Bell
In Brief
Forward Industries partners with Superstate to allow shareholders to tokenize FORD shares on Solana, enabling continuous trading, real-time settlement, and use as collateral in DeFi protocols.
Solana-focused treasury company, Forward Industries announced a partnership with fintech firm Superstate to enable shareholders to tokenize and hold FORD shares on the Solana blockchain.
Superstate provides technology that bridges traditional financial assets with cryptocurrency markets, offering on-chain equity issuance and tokenization through its Opening Bell platform, as well as tokenized funds such as USTB, backed by US Treasuries, and USCC, designed for cryptocurrency basis exposure.
Under the agreement, Forward Industries plans to acquire an equity stake in Superstate to support the joint development of future products and reinforce its commitment to advancing on-chain capital market initiatives.
Once launched, shareholders will have the ability to tokenize their FORD common stock via Opening Bell, allowing for continuous trading, real-time settlement, and increased global liquidity.
In addition, Forward Industries is collaborating with Solana-based lending protocols Drift, Kamino, and Jupiter Lend to enable tokenized FORD shares to be used as collateral within their systems.
